The location itself is beautiful and rustic, with a stunning view that sets the tone for a deeply relaxing afternoon. And then--the massage. I honestly don't think I have the words. My husband worked with Michelle, and I had Noel, and both were incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive, and responsive to our individual needs. They checked in thoughtfully, adjusted as needed, and made us feel completely cared for throughout the experience. We will absolutely be back--specifically for Noel and Michelle.

They both ask you which areas to focus on and how much pressure to apply on your body. Classical music and scenic views created a relaxing ambiance. Noel taught me breathing techniques during the massage experience, especially the tight areas in my body, which was very useful. Pro tips: the place is located on the left part of the driveway and looks like a home. Bring cash as this is the only form of payment. Noel texts you prior to the appointment to give you additional details such as directions, confirmation of appointment, and to wear a mask.

Absolutely love Tatiana's massage therapy and have to give a shout out to Brandi and CC…read more Brandi gives the best most soothing facials and I always look years younger when I leave her. The products are light and effective. She's gentle and gives a great upper body massage. For full body massage, my personal favorite is CC, but honestly, I've tried several different therapists and it's always been very good. The salon keeps the prices reasonable and I love this because it gives me room to tip the therapists really well. It's really a win-win for everyone. Last I have to talk about the owner, who is probably one of the nicest people I've ever met. She works really hard to meet the needs of everyone and if you're ever not satisfied, she will rectify it immediately. We are so lucky to have this business in town.

I wasn't ever planning to leave this review, but Tatiana is using some automated service that…read moretexted me twice in the past two days asking for a review even though I was a one-time customer literally 6 years ago. I also wasn't even the recipient of the massage -- I had bought a gift certificate to Tatiana's Massage for a family member. Nevertheless I was reminded of my bad experience and am annoyed enough from getting spam texts to finally leave this review. My family member told me the massage was really weird, and they were almost certain that Tatiana was texting on her phone throughout a large portion of it. They said they thought they were going crazy because what massage therapist has the audacity to do that, but they were face down or otherwise couldn't see to confirm during the massage. They just repeatedly felt her attention drift away from the massage as she kept shifting to only using one hand. Then, after the massage, they were exchanging pleasantries before my family member left, and they said she seemed to get a notification on her phone and pulled it out from her apron to look at it DURING their exit conversation. They said that confirmed it that she must have been texting during the massage and they were not in fact imagining it. Tatiana seemed nice during my brief interaction with her when I was purchasing the gift card, but based on my family member's experience I would not recommend this service. It seems her practice has grown and there are other massage therapists working for her now. So maybe they won't be on their phones if you book with them, but as the owner she lacks integrity. There are tons of other great massage therapists in the area who actually deserve your business.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to invest in their well-being and take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

We wish we had discovered Refuge before arriving in Carmel. We would have booked couples massages…read morein advance! We stumbled upon it last minute but got lucky and were able to walk in and enjoy the spa for the day. For us, it was absolutely perfect. We had done a hike in Big Sur the day before and were in the mood to do nothing but relax, and that's exactly what happened. The spa is tucked in the middle of several tennis courts, with players and noise just outside, but the moment you step through the doors, all you hear is the sound of water. The contrast is remarkable. My husband and I made the most of the steam room, sauna, and pools. He is a big fan of the full cold plunge cycle and told me he hadn't felt that relaxed in a very long time. We spent hours in silence, completely unwinding. I loved the zero-gravity chairs in the relaxation rooms - I read for nearly an hour in one of them. The ambient sounds they play made me feel like I was out in the middle of nature. On our next visit to Carmel, we are already planning ahead so we can add the massages to the experience. Highly recommend!

I was gifted a 60 minute Swedish massage Groupon and my husband scheduled my appointment with…read moreRandy. Parking was plentiful on a Saturday afternoon and the small location easy to find. Randy did mention that they are moving locations next week, however. Intake form was standard. Randy reviewed the form and asked a few questions before allowing time to get on the table. Small touches to the amenities were very nice, such as hooks for bags, a bin for glasses and keys, hair ties provided should you have forgotten your own, and peppermint oil on the face cradle. Randy managed to work on my noted problem areas while completing a full body Swedish within the 60 minutes. He was not chatty, but checked in a few times which I appreciate. He has a good sense of pressure and corrected for some bilateral imbalance in tension, which many massage therapists do not do. Towards the end, warm towels were used on my back and legs to remove excess oil, and I was given a cloth after to remove any excess massage oil. After getting dressed Randy debriefed me on aligning my hip and gave some recommendations about switching sides while carrying my son to avoid imbalance. Overall I was very happy with the experience and would return. Massage is not something I often make time for, but the experience was both relaxing and physically therapeutic here. Well worth the time and expense. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. The only unfortunate part was that my husband was also given a Groupon and was told he could not use it because they moved locations. He had to have his sister call Groupon to reimburse.
